<center><h2><a name="about" />About</h2></center>

<p>This is a free plugin for <a href="http://www.winamp.com/">Winamp</a> (versions 2 and 5) that displays customizable data on the caption of the active window. Here are some of the options:</p>

<ul style="list-style-type:disk">
   <li>position in the playlist</li>
   <li>artist name</li>
   <li>song title</li>
   <li>remaining time</li>
</ul>
<hr>
<center><h2><a name="options" />Options</h2></center>

<p>You can change the plugin's default options ( <i>Winamp preferences -> Plug-ins -> General Purpose -> Titlebar Info x.xx (gen_tbar_2.dll) -> Configure</i>). All settings (except for <i>Caption of window...</i>) take effect at once, so you don't have to close the dialog window to see the changes.</p>

<center><h2><a name="uninstall" />Uninstall</h2></center>

<p>I included an uninstaller with the plugin. If you still want to uninstall manually, please follow the instructions below:</p>

<ul style="list-style-type:disk">
   <li>Close Winamp and open the subdirectory <i>Plugins</i> of your Winamp-Directory</li>
   <li>Delete the files <i>gen_tbar_2.dll</i> and <i>gen_tbar.chm</i></li>
</ul>

<p>If you know how to use RegEdit, you may delete the registry key <i>HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\radix\gen_tbar</i>. Otherwise you'll better leave this alone!</p>
